About Chada Katavi Camp

  • Close Panel 

Chada Katavi Camp is situated in the core of Katavi National Park, reputed to be one of the wildest places on earth. From its elevated vantage point on a peninsula that rises out of the miombo woodland, the camp is perfectly positioned for panoramic views over the Chada plain. The canopy of acacias, kigelias and tamarinds are a popular source of shade and food for the abundant bird and animal species that inhabit the region, creating world-class game viewing opportunities, almost without you having to leave the camp.

But the true wonder of Chada Katavi awaits when you venture out to meet the animals face to face. From Chada Katavi you can take your pick from game drives in open 4 wheel drive vehicles, walking with an armed guide, fly camping out for the night under the stars or simply enjoying soaking it all up from your tent veranda.

With a maximum of 12 guests in camp at any time, you are guaranteed as much privacy and isolation as you wish. Chada Katavi Camp is a traditional safari camp whose six double tents have spectacular views and complete privacy with large, comfortable beds. Private bathrooms are set at the rear of each tent. Long drop safari toilets and bucket showers with hot and cold water are available on demand. There is a large mess tent and separate library tent. Fireplace and dining takes place under the stars.

Pricing guidelines for Tanzania

  • Open Panel 

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Tanzania can combine easily with other East African countries.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
